[quote=Anonymous]We don't limit, but we just basically don't have.

Which is to say, as far as I'm concerned, my kid (8, only child) has plenty of screen time, but very little of it would be what other parents consider screen time.

-Online school (no choice for us)
-Helps me shop online occasionally
-Zoom with family
-Family sends a video or photo, etc.
-We've seen a couple of live events online
-Kindle paperwhite reader, though she hasn't picked that up in forever

We don't have TV or video gaming or anything like that.

We both WFH, although my husband has been away intermittently for months, unfortunately (death in the family). No childcare or anything like that. Kid is extroverted and energetic, and we don't do a ton outside the home, so the pandemic itself is a little challenging, but not so much the lack of screen time. When you don't have it, you don't miss it (so far, and for the most part). Instead she does all those other things everyone else says their kids do, but more of them, and for longer at a clip.[/quote]
